Telephone
EXO-SC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
또 이모티콘 투척 (hmm)
답장 없어 phone call (phone call)
절대 변함없네 철벽 no
만날 땐 전화기만 보는데
바쁜 척하며 답장은 늦네
자꾸 왜 그런 척 왜 그런 척해
왜 그런 척 왜 그런 척
만날 때마다 늘 바쁜 척해
암만 봐도 설정인데 왜 그래
그냥 한마디 할 걸 그랬네
보나 마나 뭔지 다 뻔한데
네게 무슨 말을 하더라도 say something
대답 없는 네 시선이 박힌 데는
너의 best friend telephone
Best friend telephone
Best friend telephone
Best friend telephone (hey)
중얼중얼 옹알이하는 듯해
머뭇거리며 네게 말을 건네
반대로 넌 하루 종일 바쁜 척해
So I cannot say anything 못 해
네게 무슨 말을 하더라도 say something
대답 없는 네 시선이 박힌 데는
너의 telephone (telephone), telephone (telephone)
조마조마 전송 (hey)
또 이모티콘 투척 (come on)
답장 없어 phone call (phone call)
절대 변함없네 철벽 no
만날 땐 전화기만 보는데
바쁜 척하며 답장은 늦네
자꾸 왜 그런 척 왜 그런 척해
왜 그런 척 왜 그런 척
솔직한 척은 안되는 건가 혹시
뭐든 기다리는 부재중이야 몹시 (why)
기다리는 게 익숙해서 조금씩
짜증나는 것 같아 emergency
많이 안 바쁜 거면서 (거면서)
아는데도 모르는 척 못 본 척
나도 척하게 돼 또 안 사랑하는 척
난 이미 네게 중독 (yeah)
넌 telephone에 중독
전화 안 받을 땐 충전했대
문자 늦을 땐 또 운전 땜에
도돌이표 레퍼토리
Telephone을 질투하는 story
보조배터리보다 뜨거워질 리 1도 없지
미지근한 우리 온도 좀 올리고 파
조마조마 전송 (hey)
또 이모티콘 투척 (I like it)
답장 없어 phone call (phone call)
절대 변함없네 철벽 no
만날 땐 전화기만 보는데
바쁜 척하며 답장은 늦네
자꾸 왜 그런 척 왜 그런 척해
왜 그런 척 왜 그런 척
I hate your telephone
난 매일 안달해 또
You'll never know 또 말해도
So real so real
Love love love love love
어려 어려워
지켜보는 중이야 동시에
기다리는 중이야
Love love love love love
어려 어려워 (어려 어려워)
쿨해지고 싶어
어려 어려워
The song "Telephone" by EXO-SC talks about two people who rely on phones as their primary mode of communication. It sheds light on how technology has drastically changed the way we communicate with each other. The lyrics of the song reveal how the two protagonists of the song pretend to be busy, make excuses, and avoid talking to each other on calls. They talk about how the silence on the other end of the line is unbearable, and their phones have become their best friend, leading them to refer to the phone as their "best friend telephone."
The song's chorus consists of "Love love love love love, hard hard, I'm watching and waiting at the same time. Love love love love love, hard hard, I want to be cool, it's hard hard." It shows that even though the two individuals are not vocal about their feelings, they still feel a connection and are waiting for the other to make a move.
The song overall speaks of the irony of how phones, which were invented for better communication, have also become the reason for the lack of communication and the importance of speaking one's mind without relying on technology.

만날 땐 전화기만 보는데
Only looking at phone when we meet
바쁜 척하며 답장은 늦네
Pretending to be busy and replying late

Why keep pretending, why keep pretending, why keep pretending?
만날 때마다 늘 바쁜 척해
Always pretending to be busy when we meet
암만 봐도 설정인데 왜 그래
It's obvious it's just a setting, why do you act like this?
그냥 한마디 할 걸 그랬네
I should have just said one word
보나 마나 뭔지 다 뻔한데
It's all evident, all predictable
네게 무슨 말을 하더라도 say something
No matter what I say to you, say something
대답 없는 네 시선이 박힌 데는
Your unresponsive gaze is fixed on
너의 best friend telephone
Your best friend telephone
중얼중얼 옹알이하는 듯해
Mumbling and groaning as if hesitant
머뭇거리며 네게 말을 건네
Hesitatingly, I talk to you
반대로 넌 하루 종일 바쁜 척해
On the contrary, you pretend to be busy all day
So I cannot say anything 못 해
So I can't say anything

Is it impossible to be frank, by any chance?

Since waiting is so familiar, little by little

I feel annoyed, emergency
많이 안 바쁜 거면서 (거면서)
Even though you're not that busy (you're not)

I'm already addicted to you (yeah)
넌 telephone에 중독
You're addicted to your telephone
전화 안 받을 땐 충전했대
You say it's charged when you're not picking up
문자 늦을 땐 또 운전 땜에
You blame it on driving when you're late with replies
도돌이표 레퍼토리
Repertoire of excuses
Telephone을 질투하는 story
A story that's jealous of the telephone
보조배터리보다 뜨거워질 리 1도 없지
There's no way I'll become hotter than a portable charger
미지근한 우리 온도 좀 올리고 파
Let's turn up our lukewarm temperature and party
I hate your telephone
I hate your telephone
난 매일 안달해 또
I'm restless every day
You'll never know 또 말해도
You'll never know, even if I say it again
So real so real
So real so real
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
어려 어려워
It's difficult, it's difficult
지켜보는 중이야 동시에
I'm watching you and waiting at the same time
기다리는 중이야
I'm waiting
쿨해지고 싶어
I want to be cool
어려 어려워
It's difficult, it's difficult

I mean…the whole EXO-SC discography is so chill with this really cool vibe & so much swag too…but in a very grounded sort of way if you know…you know. The way they’re writing about normal everyday things but all the songs are so amazingly lyrical & smart & witty…I see Chanyeol & Sehun all over this big time…& I’m so glad they’re getting to express themselves…no holds barred!!
